Comparing Artists

                             Evaluation of artist research

My top three choices would have to be Gillian Lee Smith, Billy Kidd and Alyssa Zukas. The three of them have very individual and different practices but I feel as though I could play around if I joined them together. Zukas technique of splashing and letting dyes mix would be a greate way to try and re-create one of Billy Kidds Decaying Flowers I could use bright vivid dyes along side dark colours and see the effects. I chose Gillian Lee Smith because I liked her theme of storytelling and using memories to create her artworks which fit well if I was to create a costume. Billy Kidds work remind me of Gillian Lee Smiths work becasue both pieces are dark and fairytale like due to the use of light, shadow and splashes of bright colours. I have thought about carrying on with the story of Alice in Wonderland and these images would be a great palette to create a costume with especially the Mad Hatters, but it could also work on other fairytale stories.
